I used to upload photos to flickr without any sort of watermarking.After a few months i found that many of my photos where on facebook and websites of unknown people.Now what i do is bulk watermark,resize(to smaller size) and also and exif to my photos using this tool http://www.masswatermark.com before i put anywhere in the web.This tool has direct connectivity to flickr so that you can export in a single workflow.The visible watermark can significantly reduce theft.And it also acts an advertisement

I upload images to Flickr without a watermark and with these specs:
Does this seem like okay settings, or should I possibly reduce the file size/quality? If I ever should become victim of image theft, would my files have any use for anyone, being of such low file quality?
I do not know much about these things, it would be very useful to learn more about how other people here share on the Internet (in a safe way).
